Bridge lyrics

Standing here with a tale to tell
I might as well tell to you
Nothing near Wagnerian
As Terminator Two
Its an old one about a little dirt farm girl
Who wanted to get out for good
Shed do anything to keep that dream
Shed do anything she could

CHORUS:
Who was she
To feel so free
With her heart on her sleeve
She just couldnt believe...
There was a price to pay

When all is said and done
I wish I needed no one
Never was up to me
Just something in her way that sets me free
It seems so easy
And yeah I try to pay attention
But there's only four things running through my mind

How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
Should she see the willing dog or should i be a jungle cat?

When the fire

In your belly ain't been shrinking

And there's nothing

Laying around that you could be drinking

Take no mind
As that stranger tries to pass you

Is he blind?

Or couldn't he clearly see the train?

Couldn't he feel the bloody stain?

Not that I'm one to complain

Why do we chaw upon the pain?

It's just the rage

Just the rage

Just rage

Rage

Just another one, four, five about as cute as can be,
And danceable but I don't really care
I was just glad I'm alive and I had nothing else to do
And besides, the beat was already there

Oh, that's right, no it wasn't me, I didn't do it
Say what you will but you can't blame a thing on me
And really even if you could I said I couldn't care less

Moonlight's in her eyes and I can't see three feet in front of me

And its the middle of the day

Herculean tasks they come and go so easily

When her rods and her cones play

White bluely bathed in Elysian fields they run

And I don't care what time it is

I'd throw my watch away if I could hold the lunar surface

With the flicker of light that she witnesses

Every time the water breaks and soaks me to the bone

I remember what I left behind by sailing off alone

Pitch and yaw through hurricane, my position is unknown

And the bell rings seven times

Salted brine, I drink it down and breathe it through my nose

No sign of land but I hang on and do my best to close

But the swirling tidal undertow keeps pulling me below

I wish I drank tequila
I wish I stayed up late
But lately when the Sandman comes
You know I just can wait
No, lately I can wait

And we packed up all your boxes
It's all been hauled away
I never stare at walls so bare
'Cause something always stays
Yeah something of you stays

And I wanna shout from my guitar
Come out, come out wherever you are
The joke is over, open your eyes

Nobody told me it would be good
But I still wanted it to be
Do your homework like you should
Hoping something sets you free
What’ll it be

Afraid of ultimate decay
Never stopping but to rust
Eager to get it underway
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you must

And if you want to worship truth
Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news
Or a fairy tale I might sing to you

I've been hoping for some last stand

To bank everything on one heroic play

But when you're waiting for your big chance

I've come to learn that it don't go down that way
And I'm not talking about no free ride

I've stood by and I've watched them fade to dust

Its not for high ideals

'Cause you know I've tried

At some point I think everybody must

And you lost me there

And when the day begins I need her to begin me

She's hell-for-leather when I let her see what's in me

It's so addicting there's no predicting what's she's going to do or say

By the gods that made her I can't persuade her but she'll do it for me anyway

She isn't real

No, I've never met her

Simply a hope, perchance to dream

Ah but still, I can't forget her

I'm looking for some kind of sign

My dream is made of gold

I tread upon with muddy feet

My fever leaves me cold
I'm stretched across a thousand miles

And there's nothing I can do

Useless machines without your word

And the ropes are burning through

Fire is flame

You're burning me

Passion is pain

You're burning me

The flickering illuminates

When you’re living in a series of atmospheres
You don’t stand upon the world, but within it
And the faster that you move, the lighter you become
The farther out you go, the better the view

And you wanna rise
So that you can last
Take it all in slowly
Real fast

The capsule goes at 17,000 miles an hour
To make the sky act like a pond
And if it should slow down
